Your Majesty and Dear Brother,
It is with great sense of sadness and deep sorrow that I learnt
of the passing away of His Majesty King Fahd Ben Abdul Aziz AL
Saoud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Custodian of the
Two Holy Mosques.
As you, the rest of the Royal Family, the Saudi Kingdom, the
Islamic Ummah and the rest of the world mourn the demise of such
a great leader, the Government and People of the Gambia join me
in conveying profound condolences to the entire Royal Family,
the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Ummah.
It is a fitting moment to recall that the late King Fahd has
left behind an unforgettable legacy for the benefit of not only
his people but also of the Islamic Ummah and the rest of the World
at large.
Your Majesty, in this moment of grief for the Royal Family, the
people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the wider Islamic Ummah
and the rest of the World, I together with the Government and
people of The Gambia pray that the Almighty Allah in His infinite
mercy grant the departed soul external bliss and give the Royal
Family, the people of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Islamic
Ummah the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
Please accept Your Majesty, the assurances of my highest consideration.
